Agile Acquisition

Agile acquisition—widely practiced by software developers—advocates rolling out capabilities in smaller chunks, more frequently. It also deemphasizes extensive up-front capabilities planning. Instead, developers put capabilities into action as soon as possible, then modify and adapt them as needed.

Agile acquisition allows programs to be more responsive to changes in operations, technology, and budgets. It also offers more opportunities for collaborating with users and other stakeholders to deliver priority capabilities rapidly.

Implementing agile development practices often requires changes in an agency's policies, processes, and culture. But the rewards are ample.
